What? No speech on how you intend to use your new found notoriety to end world hunger or create world peace? Your "The Man" now! Time to change the world!

Thanks everyone for all of the nice comments, it is a great honor to be the first tank of the Month. I look forward to seeing Captive Reefs grow, and obviously it is happening at the right pace. Thank you once again everybody, if you have any questions feel free to ask away!!

Nice tank and nice collection of corals. I was just wondering if some lessons learnt can be added based on the reefers experience?
what are the do's and dont's etc.

Nice write up Andy.

I love your hanging Halides - very unique.

Congrats on a job well done. You have officially set the bar on future TOTMs.

I also love how clean your tank is.

Thankyou guys... Sorry I havnt posted latly I'm in Mississippi and then I head to Texas tmrow... But the "Do"s and "dont"s" of sps tanks or reef tanks in general is simplicity. I do water changes religously. If you have a system that is working really well don't change it. I use to does 2 part because I had great success even though I had a calcium reactor I was scared to set it up because I knew what worked. Another thing that I have found is a major problem people have, and I'm guilty of it to, is people get bored and start messing and putting there hands in the tank daily. I think that corals need consistant conditions everyday in order to really start to take off. All of the corals that I put in my tank I dip befor hand to keep from having problems down the road with bugs and stuff. I hope I have answered some of your questions, if not feel free to ask away!!!
